I was looking online for some plastic cards and I was surprised to find that on eBay there were cards that I could get for 7 dollars for two packs plus shipping. I believe they are called royal, but then there is single deck of kem cards that is worth 20 dollars. Why is there such a price difference? Any recommendations on where I can get a good deal on some great plastic cards. Thank you in advance.

I got a 2 pack of kem cards for ~$25 from cardsandchips.com. There was a guy at work selling used casino kem cards in pretty good shape for $10 a pair.

Definately go with kem when you can afford it. The cheaper stuff doesn't cut it...

Thank you for the quick reply. Can you tell me exactly what the difference is? Also how can i tell if i am playing with kem cards? I never knew about plastic cards until i found this home game that used them. Not sure if they are kem or just cheap plastic.

Kem cards are badass. A buddy of mine got two decks for our Tuesday night game. They take some getting used to, but once you have held them and shuffled them a bit, you won't want to pick up a deck of Hoyle's again.

I love my Kem Cards. They are awesome for shuffling. The only thing I don't like is the smell. Wierd odor to them. Confused

Same story over here. I've never heard of Royal cards, but just because they claim to be plastic, or plastic coated doesn't mean they are as good as Kem. I bought a 2-deck of Kems and I can't go back. It almost annoys me to have to play with Bicycle or Hoyle cards.

When I bought my chips I got 2 decks of used casino cards. (they always give them away) But I haven't even opened these cards. I'm too in love with my Kems.

Nobody has said what the difference is between Kem cards and other cards. Why are Kem cards so great?

Difficult to mark, warp and very resistant to regular wear. Also, nice to work with.

Also Kem cards will last a lifetime. I know people who have been playing the same deck regularly for 10 years.
